Gosh you are a bitter person. ...sm
You sound so bitter. You are confusing venting with looking for pity. Sometimes people post on here simply to hear other people's stories who are in the same boat. You know sometimes people just need to vent a little. It doesn't mean they want your pity.
No wonder you don't have a man! You're so bitter!

I am not bitter, at all - I work for them and several others
that I dealt with. Little or no communication after training, always changing the rules, changing the hours, and what I believe they do is hire more people than they need for an account and then weed people out - I was hired for a specific account, specific hours and all of a sudden, additional hours were added, additional days, and there was a certain person, who although we were supposed to do all worktypes on this account, would do a TON of work, but just all the easy stuff. Left all the more difficult work for the rest of us. She looked like a shining star because she did a million reports, but they were all easy, never anything that required a bit of thought and experience. So, maybe it depends on the account, maybe if I did it again I would work for them as an IC, but never as an employee. Too many inconsistencies. Then, to top it off, pay dates got switched around, yet again. Maybe it's growing pains, I don't know ... but I can't wait around for them to get it together. It was a learning experience, and I've moved on, but I would just be careful, and make sure you get EVERYTHING in writing before committing, or you won't have a leg to stand on when the discrepancies arise. I am not a bitter employee ... I quit on my own because I could not stand the inconsistencies. I now work for a company where the rules and expectations were all outlined in writing, signed by both parties and I know what is expected of me, and me of my employer. In this business, there is much turmoil now ... take care of yourself, first and foremost, so you don't get taken advantage of.
You can add me to the bitter list, for sure! nm

Who is the disgruntled and bitter one here??
I'm honestly not trying to ruffle feathers, just trying to understand where all of the bitterness and pinned up anger comes from on this particular board. I'm a member of some very diverse forums where the topics range from taming naturally curly hair to finding the best vasectomy reversal surgeon. MT Stars is supposed to be a place where professionals can come, share resources, and build one another up. All some people ever seem to come here for is to tear others down. It's really sad to see such hateful, ugly remarks constantly being made at MTs just for asking a question. If you don't have anything positive or beneficial to bring to the board, why post at all? What do you gain by posting insults hidden by an alias??
Is it the isolation of working at home that causes so many otherwise intelligent people to lose the ability to interact in a civil manner? If I ever become as angry as some of the people I've seen here, I'd be making a career change.
Stepping off soapbox now and getting back to work.
What is up with all the angry, bitter MTs?????
Do you think we do this job as a hobby? Do you expect us to change our budget without any notice without major difficulty because work distribution isn't a high priorty to MTSOs?
not bitter just trying to tell the truth. sm
we have a whole entitlement society and you want to change the profession to fit your personal preferences.
I don't agree with the way MTSOs treat us regarding pay anymore. But the job is a 24/7 day a week job. Not that you have to work 24/7 but that is when the work is there. If the work isnt' there are your particular shift, then you should be willing to work when the work is there or accept that you won't get a paycheck, OR go back into an in-house setting.
I will have a job long after all the ones who got into this job for quick money, working at home thinking they could have it all will.
And you are very bitter. I hope you
aren't like that in the real world.
I'm not naive, I'm just loyal to a company that I work for, and may I suggest that you learn the meaning of loyalty.
The truth is VR is here to stay whether you like it or not.
I will not defend my reason for being with TT except to say I like working for TT, I like doing VR, and I plan to stay. If you work for TT and you're that unhappy, find another job. I'm sure there's a company out there that like people with negative attitudes and would hire you in a flash. If you don't work for TT and never have, then you have no right to post such negativity about the company.
There's no talking to a brick wall.
You don't owe these bitter MTs an explaination! Too many of us on here...sm
that haven't let this job get to us yet, that put family and God before any job understand where you are coming from and back you 110%. There isn't a topic in the world you could post on this board without a flame war. They are miserable and I think they like being that way. I don't get it. Maybe so people will leave their miserable butts alone so they care work their weekends!
You sound bitter. I just got their new rates
starting in November and they are very reasonable. I do not know what you feel is high, but the mid range plan is $45+ a payperiod for individual, the low end plan is about 25, and the high end is 71. The high end plan is about average for all the companies I have seen.
If something went wrong for you at the company, act like an adult and call management and discuss it. I am not management, in fact, I am very new to the company, but your behavior is very childish. If you just did not like the company, just move on. If you have some very real facts about why they are so bad, then post them, but leave the venom out of your post.
Because of postings on a bitter board? Why would you
quit a job or question your judgement based on postings on an anonymous board? If you like the job, stay. If you don't, look elsewhere.
for someone so happy you sound bitter yourself
just an observation
I'm not bitter at all. And I love my company and my
job. Just made an objective commentary on how all the cheerleading for this company can strike some as cautionary. And your overreaction still confirms to me that something is fishy with these posts... That does not equate to bitterness, but rather, wisdom...And I never said I believe negative posters but not positives - you're reading a lot more into my simple statement. 
Not bitter..just giving my experience

Nasty, angry, and bitter
About a year ago, none of us were. We knew there were changes and trying to go along with them, but as SM so perfectly put it, they have made it very difficult. I could not have said it any better SM, cheers to you.
If you think this company is something you would like, then more power to you, just remember they are about their profits and they do not gave a damn about us.
All you TT people are so anger and bitter! sm
She said she just found out she was pregnant so I highly doubt she is going to pop out a kid tomorrow! Explain to me how you are paying for someone to have a baby - that doesn't make sense to me? I am sure most of you have been pregnant at one point in time and needed maternity leave then. I don't understand why you are all taking out your bitterness on your fellow colleague.
I think it is one person. I had a few print outs from a few weeks ago and this person even capital
I have had a positive one. I have been with Keystrokes for 3 months and am very happy.
I printed them to show my manager but she told me that there are few bitter people out there and no one can do anything about them. My manager said that everyone can tell that it is the same few over and over again, for Keystrokes and a few other companies as well. Time to move on Ms. Anon. I cannot think why a company would go through the trouble of getting IDs and getting you installed just to ignore you after that. Doesn't make sense, does it? Are you sure that't the whole truth? You keep saying truth but it sounds fishy.
Exactly what I'm talking about RUDE! You are a very unhappy person. A happy person does not
respond in such a way! This is the reason SS has such a bad name.
you sound very bitter...that is my interpretation and I am allowerd to have it...
why are you so upset somebody else gets to retire at half apparently at age 55?
this is my interpretation of what you wrote, and again, you sound bitter.
if these people are successful, which I highly doubt, but if they are, that could benefit all of us.
You probably need to get a life... Some people are sooooo bitter.
I am obviously good enough to keep busy with work.
haha, you are the one who sounds angry and bitter...
Don't worry about me or what you think I should do or need to do. I still have every right to express my opinion on this board, and you again are being rude and typical of 'your' profession.
Again, I believe medical care should not be a business. That sounds ludicrous to me. People without insurance cannot have access to health care...and people like you do not care.
We get it already, now perhaps you can go bother someone else. You are really starting to get repetitive and rude.
nasty/angry/bitter people
they're just voicing their opinion, like you just did. Does that make you nasty, anger, bitter too? I have never gotten a Christmas bonus since I have been a medical transcriptionist/editor, so I don't miss it, but I can certainly understand those who have gotten it in the past being upset about not getting it now.
Thank you!!! Obviously an bitter MTSO because they offered a ridiculous cpl and got shot down.
Shame on you!!
How 'bout something to offset that bitter pill you swallowed?
?
I am not a hateful person but that person screamed at me for 45 minutes. sm
She said all transcriptionists are idiots.
This board is full of nasty , angry, bitter people. Why? sm
With this economic crisis that the entire world is under, we still have jobs that are fairly secure. We have jobs that pay more than minimum wage. We have benefits, unless IC status. We have good work environments, do not have the risk of losing an arm, leg or life in a piece of machinary or being blown up in a mine.
Yes, there are companies that do not pay. Yes, there are companies that do not pay more than 6 cpl, but we have a CHOICE on who to work for. Don't work for them. There are plenty of good companies that treat their employees well.
Christmas bonus? My husband was laid off last week from a job he has had for 27 years. That was his bonus.
Unemployment is at record highs, prices are at record highs and it does not seem to have an end in sight for many years.
Perhaps a depression would show Americans that nothing is free and people would stop standing with their hands out all the time.
As a society, we have come to expect everything to be handed to us. As a transcription professional, it is disheartening to see all the angry, bitter, hateful posts here all the time.
Transcription companies face the same rising costs as every other company out there and I am sure they feel the crunch too, but they are not telling this every second like other industries.
I am not an MTSO, not a manager, not a troll. I am just an MT who is grateful for her job and skills that will allow her family to survive this crisis without scars.
oops!! I meant "a" bitter not "an" wouldnt want the MTSO to NOT hire me LOL
Don't worry. Next week, the bitter people will move on to attacking another company. It is just
you watch this board, you will see a pattern. One a week. Have to shred the reputations of good companies to bits just to feel good about being unhappy in general. I wonder sometimes if these people job hop constantly, even work at all, or work for the company they are bashing. Maybe it's just sick fun for those with no outside lives :)
that person go.

Since you are the person
who actually makes an offer to someone, you should have a method of following up with someone after a week or so to make sure that the new hire is up and running, especially after you have been notified that the new hire has returned all necessary paperwork. Your process sucks. period.
Cant you see that the person is already down?
Thats right kick them when they are down. Thats a great example. Get a life.
So they are the same person? nm

The only way a person would need SM
to have nice people to work for and only communicate with nice people is if they are in need of something they should have within themselves. For me, my job is just something I do for 8 hours a day and whatever they have to say to me, fine, oh well. It doesn't reflect on me whether people are snippy or rude, I just ignore it and move on in life.
It's just work, business. Not my whole life.
Yep. It also looks like this person is just
wanting to hear good things and forget anything else. Just wanting to hear what they want to hear.
As a QA person myself, 13.50 is too low
x
who was the person
Could you share the name or initials of the person. I would like to know if it is who is calling me too.
I really wonder if this person's--sm
initials begin with K and end with I, who used to post here and cause nothing but turmoil. Sure sounds like her.
Not the person above but SM
the person looking for the editors has made it a multi-board issue by posting on different boards telling people to go to the Job Seekers board to see what was posted there. That's the only way I'd know what was going on.
As far as he/she being run off the boards forever, oh well. Reputable companies post who they are and the conditions of employment. We had another semi-anonymous person get help from at least 1 person on this site recently and the MT was never paid. The MT has no way of contacting the person who owes the $ now.
QA person from, you now where!
Small company and owner is very nice, but the QA person was the absolute worst! Very insulting and humiliating. That is why I left.
I WONDER IF IT IS THE SAME PERSON
SHE WAS A TEAM LEAD WHO USED TO DO THAT, SHE WORKS AS MT AT ANOTHER COMPANY. DON'T KNOW ABOUT A SUPERVISOR BUT A TEAM LEAD USED TO DO THAT A LOT AND YOU KNOW THAT SHE KNEW THE SCHEDULES. THAT HAS BEEN A LONG LONG TIME AGO THOUGH.
Not the person above, but...
The pay is low and they don't pay for experience. Otherwise, they have plenty of work and are a very nice bunch of people.
well my tax person
said because i am in the 15% tax bracket, i should withhold that plus a little (my ss will be paid by employer). Figure 18% will do.
It happens with the job, not particularly the person as I well know.
in straight typing for the last 30 years at 3 different hospitals always made at least 2000 lines per day. Since outsourced now started at a company last summer and was getting around 1200-1300 a day, said no way and the work was not that hard. I changed jobs. Doing VR and straight now and averaging at least 3000 per day and very happy now. (By the way, with the low rates companies are paying, have to speed it up and go as fast as my fingers will take me in my 8 hr day to get that).
I don't think this is the same person. Please
be sure you are not trashing an innocent person with just a similarity in names. And the original poster is just ranting in generalities, but not same person you are jumping to conclusions on - not same name, and not same companies. Names are not the same as the person you are thinking of - just similar.
If one more person says...
Offshoring has nothing to do with cutting costs, but is due to the fact that there are not enough qualified transcriptionists in the US I am going to SCREAM!!! The more I see these things the more it infuriates me!
Try again not the person you think
Wrong person that you are thinking of. Sad if this happened to yet another person, I mean there is my friend and then there is the person you are talking about. If management said they could come back they should stand by their word. You just added to my position that even you, who are defending them, know that they are doing that to others, or at least one other that you know of. Just sad. You know my friend almost had me convinced to leave my current company. I am so very glad I did not.
I don't think it is the same person but I bet they ALL do it.
/
Are you the same person who...
always says, 'check the archives' whenever someone posts a question here? If so, I really wish you would stop it. If someone posts a question, there may be people here who are willing to answer, but you (in a way) close that opportunity for the person posing the question when you post things like this.
probably why the IT person was not much help, I don't
think they want to mess with another company's computer, nor the other company's programs, even though you were the author of that particular content.
If all fails - delet your list. why leave it for them?
looks like the only person
who has something nice to say about them has an Indian name.
You don't have one QA person, so while some are
tougher than others over a period of a week you are likely to have had them all. I believe them to be fair, they do try to post links that will help you, and you can dispute anything you don't believe is correct - not with QA, but with MT supervisor. They tend to be less lax if you continue to make the same mistakes and/or don't follow account specifics. I know of one account that is difficult because of a high percentage of ESL and one account that is difficult because the quality of the voice files is poor. I know one person who couldn't handle the high ESL account and another who says it really isn't so bad. If you produce quality work, work your schedule, etc. they seem to be willing to work with you to find a good fit.
There are some things I would change, but overall very pleased and plan to retire with them.
They do pay better than the majority of the other companies, benefits are much better than 99% of the other companies, I've never not had enough work and usually on OT most days. They do pay for down time. They don't offshore either.
